Petz - 2 x 512 kB L2 dual core die size As several sites gave a 199 mm² die size for the 2MB dual core (and an increased transistor amount of 233 mio as an also increased amount of 114 mio for the single core), we should try to get newer photos of the dual cores :) An interesting discussion regarding these changes can be found here: realworldtech.com But based on the old photos and old on die component sizes I calculated 155 mm² for the smaller dual core. Based on the new data we could subtract ~8-10 mm² to get a die size slightly less than 150 mm². Kpf already hinted at WO, that the additional transistors could be the result of redundancy and other DFM improvements. What I need is a high res DC photo :) Ok, there is one at amd-images, which needs some work to get it into a rectangular shape, seen from top.
